The puppeteer from Brittany who drove down to give the children at the Domaine de Sautou (and us) a treat, is a really talented storyteller. Well you think he must be involved, but then when he gets behind those curtains on the stage, you enter a magical world, where even adults believe the puppets are real.

The child sized marionettes come to life with many scene changes, excitement, pathos, fear, all finished off with a happy ending.
The children love him and as we drove home we all debated about how different effects could have been achieved.

We had a good chat to him before we left and we thanked him for his commitment and dedication to the street children of Mali. As we all agreed a starving child in need is someone we would all want to help regardless of colour or nationality.
So never let it be said that the French do not understand charity, this Frenchman certainly does.
